Paris specimen
It appears the specimen in Paris is the counterslab of specimen CM 11425 shown here: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnxkYXZpZGhvbmVzcmVzZWFyY2hwcm9maWxlfGd4OjQyNzljMDExMGRmZDc4NTU Perhaps Hone was unaware of it? FunkMonk (talk) 11:54, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
 * You right, they looked the same to me somehow... Is it a cast, or a counterslab? Rnnsh (talk) 12:06, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
 * If you see them side by side, you can see that there are differences in preservation, but the poses are exactly identical. So I think it's a counterslab. The question is whether researchers are aware? It's in some special exhibition. FunkMonk (talk) 12:07, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi,, after a few years I finally remembered this and sent Dave Hone a mail about the specimen. He said he wasn't aware of it, but that it does look like the counterslab (he aligned them in Photoshop), and that he will notify the Carnegie museum about it. So now the change of captions isn't original research, at least... He also mentioned that the counterslab of Germanodactylus turned up in Dublin in 1999 after about 120 years...
